5 Tips To Prevent Your Business From Controlling Your Life

Be ruthlessly efficient

Everyone knows that a lot of time is wasted every day in performing meaningless work. Finding stationery, parking your car and replying to unnecessary emails is frustrating for everyone. The advantage of setting up your own business is that you can get rid of these aspects form the beginning.  It’s worth paying for any technology that saves you time that can be spent on the core business.

Arrange for stationary to always be in reach, and a designated parking spot to be available for everyone. You can’t control the traffic, but you can use checklists and auto responders to make replying to email a breeze.

Get as much help as possible

When starting a business, don’t hire a huge staff right away- the proof of concept of various business models change with scale. For example-if you’re sewing and selling colorful hats online, you will need to hire a skilled tailor to keep customers satisfied. Get free help from your friends and family wherever possible.

 If your family members want to help design a website but are not qualified web designers, use their skills in some other capacity- get them to shop for office furniture or even for home supplies so you can spend more time getting important work done at the office. Use free resources to their greatest extent, and make hires only when you’re assured that the business will perform the same or better at a bigger scale.
